AssetLink Global Ensures Real-Time Visibility and
Safety of Vessels in Congested South East Asia Waters

Jan. 16, 2020

AssetLink Global LLC today
announced that it is deepening ties with Kemilinks, a
Singapore based telecommunications Service Based
Operator (SBO) licensed by the Info-communications
Development Authority of Singapore (IDA), by supplying
marine grade distributed computing IoT hardware and
ubiquitous connectivity services in support of regional
commercial shipping and fishing markets. Kemilinks has
authorized a large order of AssetLink's AssetPack™
family of IoT solutions for use in its Vessel Monitoring
Systems (VMS), for tracking, emergency alerts,
situational awareness in relation to critical maritime
borders, and other fishery-related data and sensor
communications.

AssetLink IoT solutions are purpose
built offering real-time track & trace and edge
intelligence required by Kemilinks to precisely monitor
location and activities of fishing vessels operating in
territorial waters across South East Asia. Kemilinks'
VMS bolsters the efforts of regional governments and
oceanic agencies to counteract forced labor practices
and obviate illegal, unreported, and unauthorized
fishing, through a series of commercial fishing laws and
the issuance of vessel operating licenses regulated and
enforced by individual member countries. The AssetPack™,
a key component of the Kemilinks VMS, provides critical
GPS geofencing and panic button capabilities, and is
currently in use by fishing vessel owners registered
with Myanmar's Fisheries Department (DOF) and other
regional agencies.

"Keeping our crew safe and
productive remains top of mind as we head into the new
year, and AssetLink IoT technologies are an integral and
cost-effective component of our enterprise VMS
strategy," said Frankie Neo, CEO of Kemilinks.
"AssetPack Hybrid provides the visibility and
situational awareness required for complex, real-time
monitoring of our fleet vessels at sea."

AssetPack™ is a next-generation,
solar-battery powered IoT device capable of
bi-directional communications over high-availability
cellular and satellite data networks in unforgiving
marine environments, anywhere on the open seas.
AssetPack™ is composed of precision GPS and
sensor-agnostic interfaces designed to track the
movement of fleet assets, gather data on local marine
ecologies, and allow for emergency communications and
geographic awareness of vessels in relation to sensitive
borders and fishery boundaries. The solution may be
easily and cost effectively installed on a wide range of
marine assets -- including fishing vessels, drift
trackers, and buoys -- and is engineered to withstand
perpetual maintenance-free operation in unforgiving
marine environments.

"We are proud to be supporting
Kemilinks' important initiatives to bring a new level of
visibility, safety, and sustainability to fishing
operations across South East Asia," said David J.
Goldstein, President & CEO of AssetLink. "The AssetPack™
configured for VMS use culminates over two decades of
technology experience designing, manufacturing, and
implementing IoT solutions for a broad range of oceanic
and terrestrial use-cases deployed in every one of the
world's oceans."
